Stood in line for over an hour waiting to get a car because they did not have enough! Car smelt like cigarettes badly. I paid 250 $ for a really small car where with Alamo/National we paid 700 for a ford escape for 8 days. Only positive is it got me to where I was going.

No washer fluid in dead of winter storms. Rattle in front wheel. Choppy check in service but needed in a pinch so beggars can't be choosers. Very expensive one way trip when train cancelled.

Always have good experiences including this past weekend.
What a surprisingly pleasant experience. The agents were thoughtful and helpful, the (upgraded) car was immaculate, and the return was about as easy as it gets. I’ll definitely rent from Fox in Chicago again.

There was no car I booked and give me other car in higher cost.
We rented from chicago airport agreeing to return at Milwaukee. I explicitly asked the staff to confirm the return location at Milwaukee will be open at 4-5pm. Then I was surprised, the location was closed and no instructions for overnight return, no one answering calls at Hertz. I ended up returning at the next closest location which is the Milwaukee airport. Then I get a surprise bill of $450 instead of the negotiated rate of $160 on July 6. I am working to charge back that transaction with the credit card company. Hertz doesn't answer customer service calls anyway.

They added hidden fees and charged me for gas even though I had returned the tank with more than I left it with. You expect to pay a premium with Hertz so that you don’t have to deal with chasing their customer service. It is truly useless to have a smooth pickup process if it means that you’ll have to track them down later because they charged you the price you paid ahead of time over in fees. Very disappointing.

Car was not cleaned inside or outside. Pick up was 3 miles from airport, the train was easy to use but had to leave my family and bags at baggage claim and come back with the rental.
was promised a Van, ended up getting a Truck since the other option was a mini van...next time make sure you DONT offer a VAN, since its not the same as a MINI VAN.

The biggest issue was a noise coming from the back of the vehicle when driving over 60 m/ hr. I contacted Dollar, but unfortunately, there were no locations anywhere near where I was. it was bothersome because I was hoping that the car wouldn’t break down in the middle of nowhere.

As an infrequent user, it would have been nice for someone to escort us to the vehicle and explain its features/ operation. How to locat e the vehicle wasn't clear then We had to drive straight into the Chicago rush hour traffic not knowing about the modern safety features and wondering what various warnings meant

Long waits at ohare airport Many ppl on line with only two reps. Not their fault , they did the best they could Car had a service soon light on plus we needed to fill tires with air
Dan, the agent at rental return deserves a raise and 2 months paid vacation. Great employee! The overall service was great and he topped it off the charts!

On the website, it tells you you can book with a debit card but you still need a credit card if you’re not out of state, which doesn’t make any sense!

Everyone was very pleasant and efficient. We reserved a sedan, however, when we arrived there were not any immediately available. Enterprise offered a van or a truck at no extra charge and we took them up on it. The van drove beautifully, the tech features were very nice, and, overall, we had a really smooth experience.

The car was great, counter person very nice, customer service over the phone was on point. The big issue was, it took over an hour of waiting in line at the counter to pick up the car. I wish I could have cancel and walked over to all the other rental agencies that had no line.

It was not Europcar but Fox. Had I known I would have chosen another provider. This reflects negatively on Europcar. Also was missing insurance which increased the cost a lot.

First I think is very bad that if you as a company charge for the extra driver,you should say it,is first time for me with this situation with a car rental,that being said I paid the extra driver and the person who I spoke told me the final charges that I would have,and for my surprise I have more charges in my card, I ended up paying 300 dollars more than the 500 dollars of the original charge,I received a late fee,I don't even know why,if I deliver the car at the rigth time,and I only wanted to pay for the daily tools, wich on top on everything I end up paying a tool in Chicago because the car didn't pass,I'm very disappointed and I don't think I'll use fox rental anymore.

One of the tires had low air pressure when I picked it up, feels like something they should've handled before giving me the car. Overall, good experience with the car itself.

It is more what I did not like. The vehicle, a Jeep SUV, had no interior lights that worked when you opened the doors. But worse of all the tail lights did not work at night! That was dangerous and shows a lack of maintenance care by Payless. I was not happy.

Payless had a very smooth process with kind and friendly people, the car was very clean and in great condition. When I returned it, however, the person who marked the car as returned did not check whether I had filled the car up with gas (I had filled the car up with gas) and charged me for not doing it. The customer service team has been very helpful in getting that false charge removed. Would recommend Payless

Everything was very confusing at pickup and drop off. The cars are collocated with Avis and Budget but the people and information are not. No instructions in my booking email, and poor signage at the O’Hare car rental facility meant that my wife and I wasted precious time wandering around searching for answers.
